February 3 Special Non-Working Holiday
« on: January 04, 2011, 08:51:59 AM »
The committee on revision of laws of the House of Representatives recently approved for floor deliberation a consolidated measure declaring Chinese New Year as a special non-working public holiday.

For 2011, Chinese New Year falls on February 3.

The proposed measure -- a consolidation of House Bill nos. 1072, 611 and 2715 -- seeks to recognize the great contributions of the Chinese-Filipino in Philippine society and their rich cultural traditions.

"Considering our long relations with the Chinese many of whom have adopted the Philippines as their home, it is but just to help preserve some of their valued traditions," said Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, who authored House Bill 1062 with his brother Abante Mindanao party-list Rep. Maximo Rodriguez Jr.

Aurora Rep. Juan Edgardo Angara said the bill would further strengthen Filipino-Chinese relations.

According to Angara, author of House Bill no. 611, the Filipinos' long association with the Chinese people has resulted in cultural enrichment.

By declaring the Chinese New Year as a non-working special holiday, mutually beneficial relations would be further enhanced, he said.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
